j&j barrels; no luck

[theklu]

i have two j&j barrels, one might be the wrong barrel all together but the other is spyder threads which fits. Now, the stock barrel works flawlessly, but the j&j never worked, then again, I didn't have an oring on it. Is the Oring necessary for this gun?

Never worked wha? -

What do you mean by never work ? Might be paint to barrel match also and yes an o-ring would be very necesery so it can be more stable and more accurate

i think i've concluded that the stock barrel is the best (used with (blaze?) bronze paint). Once i got oil throught my gun (something i didnt think i needed), and the bolts chamber cleaned out, my gun was shooting like a true champion again (cause three weeks ago i cursed out every profanity i could think of at my gun).

On a side note, i did get the j&j barrel ( http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...kAAAD3RCelA_2t - the one i have, i think) working when i added the o-ring, but the shots became somewhat erradict and i did have some ball chops (not up the feeder neck), but the barrel is usuable.

does anyone have any expierence with this barrel? or maybe another barrel i could spend my monies on?

Your paint is probably too big for your barrel.

Same barrel my son and I bought and use for our MR2's. No issues/complaints on this end. In both applications it virtually eliminated all of our barrel break issues. We have run everything from White box, Stinger to XBall Silver and Bronze thru them.

I was thinking of buying a 14" J&J barrel but this thread has dicouraged me. I recently bought the bigshot barrel and it broke a lot of balls in one day. So I came home in rage and decided to find a better barrel, I found the hammerhead barrels but I don't have any good info on it so that was out of the question. So I wondered maybe I should get the J&J barrel but with this thread of "inaccuracy" and "ball breaking" I don't know what to do. Does anybody know if this is worth the buy, is this barrel accurate and will it break balls?

on a side note, i just thought, it may of been the paint as a factor, i had the paint in my car for month, the temperature wasnt too bad in chicago - not freezing and didnt get really hot but the temp has changed quite a bit...but observation as that the stock barrel really shot better then the j&j (but the jj barrel looks better on the gun)

It could of been the paint but looks are one thing but performace is key. I just really need to know if J&J is worth it? I don't want to buy another crappy barrel like the LAPCO Bigshot barrel.

I've owned three J&J barrels and I could NEVER say anything bad about them. The key thing is a paint to barrel match, like what has already been told. There are quite a few factors to consider when it comes down to criticizing the barrel...age and quality of paint, paint size, paint shell...etc. I have a $30 J&J that has better accuracy than my Stiffi Switch kit...which was no where near $30!

Go with a J&J...you can't go wrong.
